Tollywood producer Srijit Mukherji surprised and touched people on social media by praising Tahsan Khan, his wife Rafiath Rashid Mithila’s ex-husband, for the moving artwork of their daughter Ayra Khan.
Srijit's praise came in a Facebook post on Thursday, highlighting the emotional depth of Ayra's latest drawing.
The artwork in question, shared by Srijit, depicts a stark and moving scene of many lifeless bodies lying on the ground, with individuals holding placards bearing messages such as "We want freedom," "We want justice," and "I fight to save a flower." This powerful piece reflects Ayra's solidarity with the ongoing student quota movement, a cause that resonates deeply within the current socio-political landscape.
In his Facebook post, Srijit Mukherji expressed his admiration for Ayra's artistic talent and the emotional weight of her painting. He wrote, “My little princess can draw pictures. She has painted her best picture yet. Proud of her, proud of Mithila, proud of Tahsan.” This public acknowledgment of Tahsan Khan, who shares a complex past with Mithila, is notable for its warmth and respect.
The post quickly garnered attention from netizens, who praised Ayra's artwork and extended their best wishes. Many commended her for her artistic expression and her engagement with significant social issues through her art.
Srijit Mukherji’s gesture not only highlights his support for Ayra’s creative endeavors but also reflects a spirit of reconciliation and mutual respect between him and his wife’s ex.
It accentuates the value of celebrating the achievements of loved ones, regardless of past relationships, and demonstrates how personal and artistic accomplishments can bridge gaps and foster positive connections.
